Department Overview

Greater Boston is WGBH’s nightly local news analysis show. It provides unique perspective on issues and events of significance to the communities in and around Boston.

The program is an unbiased, in-depth supplement to the cursory news roundup available on other local media outlets. Thoughtful interviews with some of the nation’s top thinkers, innovators, policy-makers and trendsetters set Greater Boston apart in a changing media landscape that tends to value quantity over quality.
